What an absolute treat. Been a fan since 1997 and thiught I'd seen all that there was to see about this band. Beautiful documentary. Thanks for uploading and God bless D.E.E. his fanily and the band.

Wish somebody did a new documentary on his life now, 16 years after...

I am a Grunge Fan, but when I listened to 16 Horsepower for the first time several years ago I was fascinated by this kind of music and David Eugene Edwards voice. After all these years I still feel the same.

Wonderful! I never knew this documentary existed, great to see all these years later. I was fortunate to work with 16 Horsepower back in 1997 when they toured Europe, I had met the band when they supported Shane MacGowan & The Popes on a number of shows in the US in 1995 and they asked me to work with them 2 years after. I absolutely adored this band from the first time I saw them, I was totally captivated by their sight and sound and they left a lasting impression on me. One of my concert going highlights was when they played in Dublin back in 2001 and DEE dedicated a Joy Division song to me which was great as during the US tour with Shane MacGowan I remember chatting with David about Joy Division as it turned out we were both huge fans. I bought a Video cassette of Joy Division to watch on the tour bus and gave it to the bass player at the time, Kevin Sol, at the end of the tour... I wonder if he still has it...??

Met him around 95 in the bay after a show ....what a blessing

Man, this might be the most far out, "real" documentary i've ever seen. Please make another one.

David Eugene Edwards is simply a musical Genius!!!

Never heard of this man before, but I'm very happy that youtube's algorithm decided to introduce me to him.

I had the pleasure of grabbing a 16 Horsepower CD in Edmonton at a HMV or something like that about 1996. It only had like 5 or 6 songs but I was INSTANTLY hooked. Amazing sound, love their groove and darkscape imagery.

He's a very grounded, genuine person who's grateful for his ability to play music. How refreshing in a world of bands unlike that.

He is so soft spoken... makes me wanna hug him ;_;

Man this documentary is fantastic! The little story of his dad and the Corvette ride touched me.

Thanks for posting the full version. All the segmented files online no longer work that I came across. I remember receiving a tape from Denver when I moved back to Colorado Springs in 1996 that I got from the Afghan Whigs (promotional). It was a single with a 16 Horsepower song on the flip side. I've been following David and the bands ever since. I'm not religious, I am Native American funny enough--since I've read his music is influenced or contains NA rhythms, but I never feel like he's preaching in his music, which is an issue he generally has with the "Christian Rock" genre, or had . . . I read in an interview. It was as if the musicians put religion first and music second. I don't feel as though either 16 Horsepower or Woven Hand does that regardless of the content of the lyrics. He tells beautiful stories that come from his religion in song. Thanks again.

thank you Jay for posting this documentary. what a nice ,gentle guy. he doesn't like his own voice, well, we all do!

I saw this documentary like 10 years ago and was very impressed by David his authenticity, pureness and vulnerability. I was searching to see it again. thanks a lot!

This is the kind of religion I can get behind! Preach on brother!

David is a freaking genius.

It's so good seeing him with his Grandpa

I am humbled to be able to hear an artist who is this committed to his work and vision and is able to accomplish it in an ever captivating way. Thank you very much for uploading this fascinating piece of faith and art and person.

Wow David I've seen a lot of documentaries but nothing as raw and truthful as this, it is truly a gift from God that I came to watch this, I've been listening to your music for some time now off and on yet never came across this, its so inspiring, I've been writing and making music for over half my life now and struggling to use the talent God has given me, I related to so much in this film ( especially the beginning part where you speak of your favourite style of music that drew you in, same here) that I feel it was a Devine moment, thank you so much this film has changed me, God bless you and yours my friend, this is so inspiring, thank you.

Great documentry, great Band/guy, keep on playing David! And come to play in Europe again!

David Eugene Edward's & his fellow musicians music reaches me onto personal levels... It's real and it's not fake. Thank you... and God bless you all, even if you're only waiting to be understood.. shine on and light will find you! x

Thank you!!! I was searching for this movie for years. I watched it at the Dutch music TV show 'Lola de musica' back in 2000 when it was 1stly aired. Great stuff, very sincere.

Beautiful. What a heart.

How so very very nice and good a movie. Thank you to David Eugene Edwards and his grandfather and the filmmaker and to all the musicians in the film as well.

Amen Thanx David Eugene Edwards for bringing god closer too us with your music, ..in these crazy times.

God bless you Eugene

Thanks for this complete film...I've been waiting for it after seeing it in all those seperate vids years ago! David is definitely one of my top 3 personal favorite. Of artists of all time!

I bought a box of cds from a co-worker, & Sackcloth 'N' Ash was in it. While I was downloading them onto my laptop I came across Sackcloth and searched it on Spotify. I really like the music. Now i'm a fan maybe years late but still a fan.

Sounds like my own approach to music. I loved Sixteen Horsepower, but discovered them after they had disbanded. David’s music reminds me of the music of another David- David Ben Yeshai, the Biblical David. I love the Dylan influence; I could sense in in “Low Estate.”

Thank you so much for this. You have walked my same paths and I appreciate you and your honest work and voice more than my words can tell.

I have no desire to convert to christianity, but Wovenhand and David's other projects have always been deeply moving and unique. Glad to discover this documentary!!

Great documentary.

Thanks for this i just discovered him.

I knew he had goth roots. His singing reminds me of Ian McCulloch.

Man great documentary. Great stuff, music, story, feel. Real talk

Thank you for this post ❤

Love you and your music!

Thanks a lot for that !

thanx man, like he is saying, the dark side of music gets me. love it......

Other than really liking and resonating with his music, I feel like I can relate to pretty much everything he says, even though I'm not really a Christian. I mean I was raised Catholic but I don't consider myself religious, and I don't go to church. I do believe in the power of music and the power of words, and I do have my own spirituality somehow, but I don't really call any of that God. But the difference is quite subtle when I think of it. You know what? I think I'll start praying to Mr D.E.E. from now on ahahah

Much love David!!!!!

Nice Man and a real genius 👈🏼

i love the music

I think David was very wise to mention joy division and nick cave, which is "christian music" all right. Just think of "the eternal" from closer (1980) where Ian sings about the catholic devotion of "inner communion". Or in the case of cave (very much influenced by the catholic gothic writer flannery O'Connor's "wise blood") think not only of "the good son" album (1990) but of "there is a kingdom" (1996) and practically every song he did with the seeds have that christian flavour... also of fear of damnation. Apart from that David should have mentioned emmylou Harris "angel band" as well - country music is often influenced by the christian heritage of the southern states, the glorious bible belt

I love und deeply respect that guy!

Was this released on dvd ? Love it

Love

Doe’s anyone know the name of the song David plays in the beginning of this documentary.

Having read all the comments I would like to take a few minutes to put in my 2 cents.. it may turn into 4, or more, cuz I have a lot on my mind and it's not easy for me to express what's there in a cohesive fashion. I'm going to recommend you watch and listen to the collab with Carpenter Brut, Fab Tool. As I consider it I remember the words he spoke in another interview about people being like cattle and how one commentor responded negatively to it. In the very beginning of Fab Tool is a giant dead cow- I wondered to myself, could there be a connection, after all these years, and a common train of thought between carpenter brut and him? DEE has expressed many times straightforwardly or hintingly about thinking for ourselves. I wrote him a letter some years ago to thank him for the words he sings.. I use them as a study guide for bible verses, and over the years, I have found a lot of interesting ideas, answers, and things to ponder by picking a word from a song and googling, like he did on the couch in this documentary. I don't care if he wears makeup because I'm pretty sure it's how he's trying to get his message across. Maybe he's showing his love and care for females or people from India.. there's a verse that says there's no distinction between male or female Jew or Greek..(I don't remember the rest, you can look it up, like I will when I'm done) ..we're all the same in God's eyes. I have 3 adult sons who have tried every kinda hair doings over the years- bald, dyed, mohawks in various lengths, mullets, bleached.. it didn't matter to me..they were expressing their individuality where they were in their growth process. We've all gotten older seen changes and stuff happening that isn't in accordance with God's will..and what did Ian Curtis say in Heart and Soul about foundations?!? There's bound to be some cynicism and righteous anger popping up.. thanks for reading.. God bless us, everyone And may we bless Him as the psalmist said..

I think Bob Dylan would be honored. To have a band as talented.

If by chance anyone got a different version of this, please let me know, would like to find this without the dutch subtitles

08:30 I'd love to have that version of Poor Mouth in HQ ... does anybody have it/know where I can find it?

Thank you for posting, Jay Sun Bay Lore. David seems like a thoroughly nice chap. I've loved his voice since Sackcloth. It got kinda dark at the end though right? When he was basically saying that he was the boss and who doesn't like it (band members) can bounce! Which, I guess is what ultimately happened. I'm rambling now. I'll stop.

"What business do I have playing a Bob Dylan-song.." How about you made it at least a thousand times better? I'm not joking. Dylan may be your hero, but he's not mine. You are.

Love DEE.

Does anyone know what year this was originally released? Thanks!

Someone can subtitle it so spanish!?? please!!

:)

37:00 i can't remember what song is that.

He's Nick Cave and doesn't know it.

Dutch...

does anyone know when this was filmed? 1997, maybe?

What type of instrument is that?

Love their cover of Outlaw Song. The man obviously has talent. If or when he breaks from the childhood indoctrination he should be limitless.

...his music sounds nothing like him. Oddly.

What this weird language is? horrible to spell it!

I like his crazy ass music but don't care about the relig part...yawn.
